Bumper Crop!

Tonight we were out in Davis visiting the family and got to see the garden in full action! Most of the stuff out there wasn't ready the last few visits, but this time we had our bags in hand and harvested our hearts out. The garden this year is AMAZING! I think it's one of the best years that we've ever had and that credit goes to Maryann and Jeff who bust their butts out there most everyday to make sure it looks beautiful. In the garden you will find: lettuce, corn, squash of every variety, spinach, basil, tomatoes (a scary amount!), bell peppers, tomatillos, artichokes, cucumbers, green beans, watermelon, pumpkins, carrots, beets, peaches, nectarines, pumpkins, potatoes and this year experimental edition: horseradish! Each year Bill picks something different out and gives it a go. So far the horseradish seems to be doing great so we'll be sure to get pictures of him crying while he is preparing it!

In the garden you will also find a zillion different flowers! That leads me to my next picture. Sometimes you get a picture where you think, "I'm going to hang everything up and become a professional photographer." This was one of those picture moments, but I assure you that there are a zillion more pictures of the garden on Flickr so go and check them out!
